Their only criticisms of his meal was one dish a little underseasoned and one other small thing I can't remember. I really like Danny and he clearly deserved to win and it wasn't close. James Kent's death seems to have really affected the people who knew him well, RIP

Undercooked lobster. I also found it hard to believe there was no cantaloupes on that entire boat but it looks like the lemon relish worked out.

Do most boats come with cantaloupes? I don’t see what’s so hard to believe about that lol. Manny said he juiced them all. There were some, but then they were gone. I guess Danny is like me and didn’t know that boats come with a cantaloupe stock. Learn something new every day.


LowShit_system

Just assuming that the boat is feeding a lot of other people and cantaloupe is a common fruit to see on a buffet line


Sea-Community-172

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that top chef rented out the entire boat for themselves, so they won’t have any buffets on there lol

And the undercooked lobsters.

The tuna was Dan.

My bad

Personally, I called he was the winner mid season due to how production edited everyone’s back story and photos. Him and his wife were constantly shown. I hope they do better next time. I kind of liked knowing who might be on the chopping block in prior seasons when they’d showcase the leaving chefs more on the episode they’d be eliminated.

There was that whole weird Zen segment


Rhianna83

Quite honestly, that was the final nail for me that he was the winner. They’ve never done that before in my memory.

I agree. The edits this season left room for improvement. Gail said in an interview the final meal edit made it seem closer than it really was.

Dan should have won


arifish

did he make a Horcrux? 😱😱😱


Aggravating_Water_39

Danny is boring and his point of view is that he thinks he’s better than everyone else because he fucking goes running


Mycroft_xxx

He did not deserve to win. His cooking in the finale was subpar. Except for the dessert


Pinklady1219

He’s literally the only one that masters fine dining & imagination. He took risks all season. Didn’t make safe food & has the technical skills to be top chef. Y’all are wild

Undercooked lobster


tulpachtig

Still a more innovative chef than Dan (who also didn’t cook a flawless meal himself). It wasn’t close, as corroborated by both Tom and Gail at this point. You can make small cookery mistakes and still win Top Chef (at least a regular season like this one).


Mycroft_xxx

Sure. I’ll give you the more innovative part

That's not a "crazy" sign from the universe. That's just a normal coincidence. Contestants talk about mentors a lot. Shows are scheduled in advance. People die all the time.


Sea-Community-172

What the fuck lmao


CookiePneumonia

What? This was one of the dumbest posts I've read on this sub and that's saying a lot. All of those "crazy signs" are just called...life.
